Sustainability at Wipf

The company has already implemented a number of measures and projects for greater sustainability in a wide range of areas.

  • Installation of a photovoltaic system on the roof of the production hall in Volketswil with 974 solar modules.
  • Certification according to SN EN ISO 1400:2015
  • Conversion of the complete lighting system to LED

 

 

Sustainable packaging ideas

Just as important as the entrepreneurial measures are the innovative sustainable packaging ideas of Wipf AG. After all, this is where the responsible use of raw materials is particularly evident. In particular, the new packaging made of monomaterial laminates emphatically demonstrates the high value placed on sustainability in the development of new products.

Sustainability in the company is a multi-layered and ongoing process - long distance instead of sprint. Many measures and developments have already been initiated and implemented. Others must and will follow.

Short-, medium- and long-term solutions are required at all levels. This is the only way to achieve effective and lasting environmental and climate protection. Wipf AG will do its part.
